On Friday the 3rd of August the WPRA will be playing against the international French U19 squad, an annual fixture at the WPRA. The WPRA strives in exposing players to high performance environments and part of this process involves competing against players of a high caliber. On Friday our players will be playing against the current best French players in their age group, allowing them to directly evaluate their current ability and performance. This week has been strongly focused on fine tuning execution in the areas of the game that can be easily controlled, and it will be exciting to see how the players perform in these areas.
